Thankful

Thanksgiving kicked off with a feast at Jackson's school on Wednesday. Nothing cuter than watching toddlers gather around a table patiently waiting to dive into a feast for a grown up. 

After an afternoon of errands for me, I returned home to a fresh hair cut for my little man. If we are ever blessed with a little girl, I hope her hair grows just as fast. We would have full out french braids by now!

Jackson always comes home from school with amazing hand print or foot print artwork. You can clearly see his unique print and identify the cute size. So this Thanksgiving I wanted to try one of my own and make the adorable hand & foot print turkey floating around on Pinterest. Armed with large pieces of butcher paper to provide space for making several turkeys, I calmly told my husband I didn't think we would have to give J a bath that night so grab the box of wipes for his hands.

Well it is apparent that they practice hand prints at school because Jackson saw the paint heard my request and dove right into it. He rubbed is all over his hands, made prints then rubbed it on his feet trying to make prints. He was so excited to make prints that when I tried to guide him we ended up with 2-4 and then a smear of them all. He then insisted on painting mom and dad's hands to make prints. When he reached for our faces my husband took off. 

Despite several turkey attempts, I eventually surrendered and we decided to bring both sheets of butcher paper to each side of the family on Thanksgiving for "tablecloths." And Jackson definitely needed a bath. 

Actual Thanksgiving day was spent with family. We are truly blessed to have wonderful family to spend it with. All the food was delicious and our bellies were so full!

Found some time to be crafty this weekend as well...Christmas here we come!
